🚀 Base Protocol Celebrates One-Year Anniversary With Global Expansion Plans

According to BlockBeats, on September 17, Base founder Jesse Pollak delivered the opening speech at FarCon Asia, the first major Farcaster ecosystem offline event in Asia. Pollak highlighted that Base Protocol has been operational for a year and now possesses its own culture, mission, vision, and strategy. The primary focus is on promoting Base globally. The plan involves traveling to various parts of the world to engage with builders, understand how to support them, and help them achieve greater success. Base Network aims to showcase use cases for crypto consumers beyond just financial transactions, enabling developers to create social products in new ways accessible to everyone. Pollak believes these applications will drive the next wave of users, growing from millions today to billions in the coming years.

Pollak also emphasized the excitement around non-USD stablecoins. Base sees the need for stablecoins in currencies like the Singapore dollar, euro, and Nigerian naira. If Base can bring all global currencies on-chain, it would revolutionize the perception of money, making transactions ten times faster and cheaper, providing better financial services to global users. Base aims to foster a vibrant ecosystem with applications that offer compelling reasons for participation, and to establish deep capital markets for efficient, high-liquidity trading.

FarCon Asia, the first major Farcaster ecosystem offline event in Asia, was co-hosted by Tako Protocol, BlockBeats, and Jam. The conference aims to explore and showcase the innovative achievements of the Farcaster ecosystem and the future prospects of Web3 social networking, breaking the stereotype of one-way output in traditional financial crypto conferences. The event is expected to attract over 500 attendees, including Farcaster ecosystem builders, active users in Asia, venture capitalists, renowned investors, and senior researchers.

🚀 Farcaster Founder Highlights Importance Of Authenticity At FarCon Asia

According to BlockBeats, on September 17, Farcaster founder Dan Romero emphasized the significance of authenticity during his opening speech at FarCon Asia, the first major offline event for the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia. Romero stated that authenticity is crucial on Farcaster, even more so than on most social networks. He noted that people genuinely care about those they perceive as real, and some negative habits from other social media platforms are not welcomed on Farcaster.

Romero highlighted that Farcaster places a greater emphasis on individuals, resonating with the needs of early community users. He believes that being oneself is more important than following social media tips for building a brand account. He compared it to attending a party where one introduces themselves first before discussing their activities, rather than the other way around, which makes the person seem less important.

Regarding content management, Romero mentioned that people are less sensitive about content management compared to personnel management. Farcaster's new approach to community management focuses on managing people rather than content. He described this model as giving a warm, club-like feeling, where users can create a shared identity and build a genuine community. This approach marks a significant shift from previous competitors. Farcaster plans to release a set of tools to help channel administrators gain more control over their spaces.

🚀 AppLovin Plans New Social Networking Platform After Unsuccessful TikTok Acquisition

AppLovin is gearing up to develop a social networking platform following its unsuccessful attempt to acquire TikTok's assets outside of China last year. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the company's strategic shift after the failed bid. AppLovin, known for its mobile advertising services, is now focusing on expanding its digital footprint by creating a new platform aimed at enhancing user engagement and connectivity.

The company's decision comes amid growing competition in the social media landscape, where established players continue to dominate. By venturing into social networking, AppLovin seeks to diversify its offerings and tap into new revenue streams. This move is part of a broader strategy to leverage its existing technology and expertise in mobile advertising to create a unique social experience.

AppLovin's previous attempt to acquire TikTok's assets was part of its plan to strengthen its position in the digital market. However, the deal did not materialize, prompting the company to explore alternative avenues for growth. The new platform is expected to integrate advanced features that cater to the evolving needs of users, aiming to provide a seamless and engaging experience.

As AppLovin embarks on this new venture, industry observers are keen to see how the company will navigate the challenges of entering a competitive market dominated by major players. The success of this initiative will depend on AppLovin's ability to innovate and attract a substantial user base, leveraging its expertise in mobile technology and advertising.
